There’s one feature families stop negotiating on once they’ve lived without it: outdoor space that actually belongs to the adults. The Grayson is built around that reality — main-floor primary suite, an open gathering core where homework and dinner coexist without anyone losing their mind, and a private balcony that earns its place every evening after eight.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 3,372
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 3.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The primary suite sits on the main floor opposite the garage, with a great room anchoring the flow between kitchen, dining, and covered outdoor living.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
Three bedrooms share the second floor with two full baths and a bonus room under a vaulted ceiling — each bedroom gets its own walk-in closet, which is rarer than it should be at this size. The open-to-below stairwell keeps the great room visually connected to both levels rather than feeling like two separate floors stacked on each other. Bedroom #2 gets a private deck with hot tub access. Storage is generous throughout.
Floor Plan – Garden Shed
The garden shed footprint runs 15 by 29 feet, with stair access and a small bathroom included.
Warm Wood Tones and Shiplap Make This Entry Feel Like a Real Welcome
Textured glass sidelights on the wood door blur the outside world without blocking light, and the decorative pumpkins on the console are fall staging done with actual restraint — one cluster, no burlap ribbon in sight.
By The Numbers: Console tables have made a real comeback in entryways as people look for drop zones that look deliberate rather than just piled up. A lower shelf with a woven basket handles the practical side without sacrificing the look. Natural materials like rattan and seagrass carry the warmth all the way from the floor up to the ceiling fixture.
Floor-to-Ceiling Glass Puts a Waterfront Sunset Right in the Living Room
Warm wood floors, a white plaster fireplace surround, and built-in shelving anchor a room where the real draw is the water outside. Everything in here is quietly doing its job so the view can do its.
Why It Works: Double-height windows pull in sky color in a way low windows simply can’t — the room shifts from golden to deep blue as evening settles, and no fixture is going to replicate that. Keeping wall colors neutral in a room with a water view almost always pays off for exactly this reason; you want the glass to win.
Warm White Cabinets and a Wood Island Base That Actually Belong Together
Upholstered counter stools in light gray fabric line the wood-paneled island beneath cone pendants with aged brass hardware. The pot filler above the range is a detail that sounds like a luxury until you’ve filled a stockpot at the sink twice in one week.
Color Story: Pairing white perimeter cabinets with a stained wood island base caught on because it breaks the monotony of all-white kitchens without introducing a second paint color to manage. The warm tone of the island reads almost like a furniture piece rather than more cabinetry. That difference — collected versus matched — is harder to articulate than it is to feel when you’re standing in the room.
Built-In Bench, Corner Windows, and a Lake View That Does All the Work
Banquette seating built into the corner earns its keep here because it doubles storage underneath every cushion.
Black Windsor chairs pull up to a wood trestle table without competing with what’s happening outside the glass. At dusk, the corner window wrap catches the lake reflecting pink and orange sky on two walls at once — that’s the kind of thing you can’t fake with art. The glass-front cabinet on the left keeps dishes within reach without hiding them away.
Woven Pendant, Waterfront Sunset, and a Bed Frame That Earns Its Keep
A dark walnut bed frame with upholstered headboard anchors the room without fighting the view. Behind it, floor-to-ceiling glass slides open to a covered patio where the lake turns orange at dusk — the kind of thing you notice every single evening and never quite stop noticing.

Brass Faucets and a Black-Frame Mirror That Pull the Whole Vanity Together
Gold-toned faucets against white quartz are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The warm wood cabinet fronts keep the space from reading clinical, and the oversized black-frame mirror reflects the tiled shower wall behind the camera — more depth than you’d expect from a single fixture swap. One small potted plant on the counter. That’s all it needs.
Try This: Brushed brass has largely replaced chrome in primary bathrooms because it holds up better against daily water spots and fingerprints. If you’re considering the switch, you don’t have to commit all at once — swapping faucets and cabinet hardware first lets you live with the finish before you go further.
Olive Walls, Exposed Beams, and Arrow Decor That Actually Suit a Kid’s Room
Olive green at this saturation reads serious without feeling heavy — it’s a grown-up color that somehow still works for a ten-year-old. The exposed wood beam gives the vaulted ceiling something to anchor to. Blue chevron arrows above the bed skip the generic sports theme entirely, and a woven pendant, a globe on the desk, and a velvet ottoman bench give the room real range without trying too hard.
- Vaulted ceilings in kids’ rooms pay off long-term since the space grows with the child instead of feeling outgrown
- A deep wall color in a secondary bedroom lets you keep furniture simple and still avoid a flat, generic look
- A dedicated desk zone with its own lamp and printer signals that homework has a real home, not just a corner of the floor
Pin It

Material Matters: Covered outdoor living spaces attached to the main living area get used far more than detached patios because the barrier to stepping outside is almost zero. Roof coverage also extends the usable season considerably in climates with frequent rain or punishing afternoon sun — which is most of them.
